Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is recommended to reduce ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. The variables that predict heat generation by patients receiving TH are uncertain, as is how this heat generation relates to neurologic outcome. We hypothesized that patient characteristics, medication use, inflammation, and organ injury would be associated with heat generation. We further hypothesized that neurologic outcome would be most strongly associated with heat generation.
Surface and intravascular cooling devices were used to provide TH in 57 consecutive cardiac arrest patients. Device water temperatures during the maintenance (33°C) phase were collected. Patient heat generation was quantified as the “heat index” (HI), which was the inverse average water temperature over a minimum of 2 hours of maintenance hypothermia. Variables measuring reduced ischemic injury and improved baseline health were significantly associated with HI. After controlling for presenting rhythm, a higher HI was independently associated with favorable disposition (OR=2.2; 95% CI 1.2 to 4.1;
In cardiac arrest patients receiving TH, greater heat generation is associated with better baseline health, reduced ischemic injury, and improved neurologic function, which results in higher metabolism. HI can control for confounding effects of patient heat generation in future clinical trials of rapid TH and offers early prognostic information.

The variables that predict heat generation by patients receiving TH are uncertain, as is how this heat generation relates to neurologic outcome. We hypothesized that patient characteristics, medication use, inflammation, and organ injury would be associated with heat generation. We further hypothesized that neurologic outcome would be most strongly associated with heat generation.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods and Results</title><p>Surface and intravascular cooling devices were used to provide TH in 57 consecutive cardiac arrest patients. Device water temperatures during the maintenance (33°C) phase were collected. Patient heat generation was quantified as the “heat index” (HI), which was the inverse average water temperature over a minimum of 2 hours of maintenance hypothermia. Variables measuring reduced ischemic injury and improved baseline health were significantly associated with HI. After controlling for presenting rhythm, a higher HI was independently associated with favorable disposition (OR=2.2; 95% CI 1.2 to 4.1; <italic>P</italic>=0.014) and favorable Cerebral Performance Category (OR=1.8; 95% CI 1.0 to 3.1; <italic>P</italic>=0.035). Higher HI predicted favorable disposition (receiver‐operator area under the curve 0.71, <italic>P</italic>=0.029). HI was linearly correlated with arteriovenous CO<sub>2</sub> (<italic>r</italic>=0.69; <italic>P</italic>=0.041) but not O<sub>2</sub> (<italic>r</italic>=0.13; <italic>P</italic>=0.741) gradients.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>In cardiac arrest patients receiving TH, greater heat generation is associated with better baseline health, reduced ischemic injury, and improved neurologic function, which results in higher metabolism. HI can control for confounding effects of patient heat generation in future clinical trials of rapid TH and offers early prognostic information.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>cardiac arrest</kwd><kwd>cardiopulmonary resuscitation</kwd><kwd>ischemia</kwd><kwd>prognosis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="other"><title>Introduction</title><p>Sudden cardiac arrest (CA) affects >500 000 people in the United States annually.<sup><xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>–<xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> Fewer than 1 in every 10 of these patients will survive to hospital discharge<sup><xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> with the majority of deaths occurring as a result of neurologic injury.<sup><xref rid="b4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup> Since 2002, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has emerged as the only effective post‐resuscitation therapy for neurologic injury.<sup><xref rid="b5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>–<xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> TH has a class I indication after ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) out‐of‐hospital CA<sup><xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> and neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic injury.<sup><xref rid="b8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup> At present, hypothermia is being actively investigated as an adjunct in treatment of other forms of acquired brain injury<sup><xref rid="b9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup> and myocardial infarction.<sup><xref rid="b10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup> Thus, TH offers benefit for a number of illnesses carrying significant morbidity and mortality, and gaining an understanding to its clinical application is crucial in future clinical trials.</p><p>Several animal studies<sup><xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>–<xref rid="b14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref></sup> and 2 clinical studies<sup><xref rid="b15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>–<xref rid="b16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref></sup> have shown that faster time to target temperature results in better outcomes.

Furthermore, we hypothesized that patient heat generation, quantified as a “Heat Index” (HI), could be associated with patient demographics, body habitus, pre‐existing comorbidities, and the presence of infection, inflammation, or more severe ischemic injury, and could also be influenced by delivery of adjunctive medications commonly used to suppress shivering. Based on the existing literature,<sup><xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>–<xref rid="b22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> we hypothesized that greater heat generation would be associated with better neurologic outcomes and survival to hospital discharge.

It is our institutional standard to provide therapeutic hypothermia to all comatose survivors of CA except in the setting of active hemorrhage or severe antecedent bradycardia or heart block. Data was obtained from consecutive out‐of‐hospital and in‐hospital CA survivors who received TH and were maintained within the target temperature (33°C) for a minimum of 2 consecutive hours using either an intravascular device (ThermoGard XP; Zoll Medical) or adhesive surface cooling pads (Arctic Sun 5000; Bard Medical). As part of our QI efforts patient and water temperature data were downloaded from each device to analyze how units were performing at reaching and maintaining target cooling and rewarming temperatures. These data were linked to patient‐level data on a list of variables (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl01">Table 1</xref>) with intentions to understand variations from goals.

computerized entry order sets were used in both hospitals following CA. Similar to prior work,<sup><xref rid="b23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref></sup> these protocols included inducing TH to 33°C as quickly as possible using maximum cooling on the devices, along with most patients receiving 2 L iced saline and ice packs applied to the neck and groin before and during induction of TH. These adjuncts were not used in any of the included patients during maintenance TH. Patients were to be maintained at 33°C for 24 hours and rewarmed to 36.5 to 37°C at a goal rate of 0.25°C/h, (maximum rate 0.5°C/h). The patients included in this report were either treated using external gel‐coated pads (Arctic Sun), 2 placed on the torso and 2 on the legs, or a 3 or 4 balloon femoral venous intravascular cooling catheter (Zoll Icy or Quattro catheters). Our standard anti‐shivering regimen consists of use of sedation (propofol or midazolam), occasional opioid analgesia (fentanyl or morphine infusion), and occasional neuromuscular blockade (vecuronium or rocuronium, generally used only at induction of hypothermia). Continuous neuromuscular blockade is infrequently employed in our facilities for these patients.</p></sec><sec><title>Measuring Heat Generation</title><p>Patients' heat generation during the maintenance phase was quantified using a “Heat Index” (HI) developed for this study. The HI was calculated as ×100 the inverse average machine water temperature over the period in which patient temperature reached the target temperature of the maintenance phase (33°C) of TH for and was maintained for a minimum of 2 consecutive hours. Device water temperature is automatically recorded every minute. When TH was paused for patient transport, we did not resume this calculation until the patient was back at goal temperature. In all cases we averaged as much time as possible until rewarming began, which was indicated by a change in the goal temperature on the machine. HI as calculated directly quantifies patient heat generation since a higher HI indicates a lower water temperature was required to maintain the patient at 33°C.</p></sec><sec><title>Outcome Assessment</title><p>Our primary outcome endpoint was discharge disposition, which strongly correlates with other measures of neurologic outcome<sup><xref rid="b24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup> and is ultimately based on the patient's functional status at discharge. Other outcomes assessed were discharge Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) and survival. CPC<sup><xref rid="b24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup> was defined using strict criteria such that patients with CPC 1 or 2 must be able to perform all activities of daily living and be able to return to work independently or in a sheltered environment. CPC and disposition were dichotomized as favorable or unfavorable. Favorable disposition was defined as discharge to home or acute rehabilitation, while unfavorable disposition was discharge to an advanced care or skilled nursing facility, hospice or death. A CPC of 1 or 2 was considered favorable whereas a CPC of 3 to 5 was unfavorable.</p></sec><sec><title>Additional Data Collection</title><p>Clinical, laboratory, and pharmacological data (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl01">Table 1</xref>) from the QI database was abstracted if it related to 1 of 6 predetermined patient characteristics: (1) demographics, (2) body habitus, (3) patient health at time of CA, (4) presence of infection or inflammation, (5) measures of ischemic injury severity, and (6) medication use to prevent shivering. A full list of the variables included in this study and how they were defined is stated in <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl02">Table 2</xref>. CA data routinely collected include the location of arrest (out‐of‐ or in‐hospital), gender, the presenting rhythm (dichotomized as VF/VT or non‐VF/VT), and Pittsburgh CA category, a post‐arrest injury severity score.<sup><xref rid="b22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> This score is based on the neurological examination, hemodynamics, and ventilator settings within 6 hours of arrest and is described elsewhere.<sup><xref rid="b22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> Using this simple 4‐point scale, patients with the lowest CA category (I) had expected survival to discharge of ≈80% (60% with good neurologic outcome) as opposed to category IV patients who had survival <10% (<5% with good neurologic outcome). In patients who had paired arterial and superior vena cava central venous blood gases available within 30 minutes of one another, arteriovenous oxygen (A‐VO<sub>2</sub>) and carbon dioxide (A‐VCO<sub>2</sub>) gradients were calculated as they have been shown to correlate with cardiac output and metabolic energy expenditure.<sup><xref rid="b25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>–<xref rid="b26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref></sup> These were obtained as we hypothesized that higher heat generation was the result of higher metabolic rate and thus carbon dioxide generation presumably due to a higher hypothalamic/pituitary mediated set point. Both arteriovenous oxygen and carbon dioxide gradients have been demonstrated to correlate with cardiac output<sup><xref rid="b26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref></sup> but only carbon dioxide differences correlate with metabolism and heat generation.<sup><xref rid="b25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref></sup></p><table-wrap id="tbl02" position="float"><label>Table 2.</label><caption><p>Clinical, Laboratory,

We therefore looked to see how strongly the association between heat generation was mitigated after adjustment for injury severity after CA. Our recently reported Pittsburgh CA Category (PCAC) is a simple 4‐point injury severity score,<sup><xref rid="b22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> which categorizes CA survivors based in large part on their early neurologic exam and cardiopulmonary injury. Higher PCAC corresponds to worsened injury with increasing mortality and worsened neurologic function.

First, of an extensive list of variables analyzed, only 3 had independent associations with greater heat generation: a lower initial lactate level, a higher minimum WBC count, and a higher 24 hour cumulative propofol dose. Second, greater heat generation was associated with neurologically intact survival. Finally, these data suggest that greater heat generation is the result of higher metabolic rates in less injured patients. Heat index is therefore a quantitative prognostic factor that can be obtained early in treatment of cardiac arrest patients even when sedation and neuromuscular blockade used adjunctively with TH clouds the neurological exam making prognostication difficult.<sup><xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>–<xref rid="b28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref></sup></p><p>Several studies have shown an association between elevated initial lactate levels and both mortality and worsened neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest patients.<sup><xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>–<xref rid="b31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref></sup> Therefore, it is not surprising that a higher HI is also associated with lower initial lactate level. This finding and the association between HI with post‐arrest injury severity (PCAC) may be useful in alerting clinicians to the fact that the patient being treated with therapeutic hypothermia will likely be easier or harder to cool. The higher propofol requirement in patients with higher HI is likely a reflection of this as propofol is commonly used in shivering prevention.<sup><xref rid="b32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref></sup> Although we do not know of any papers documenting leukopenia as a risk factor for worsened post‐CA outcome, this plus the univariate association between HI and anemia likely speak to patients with lower baseline health having worsened outcomes. Because other measures such as albumin and pre‐arrest functional status were not available to us, this is only speculative and requires future validation.</p><p>At least 2 other groups<sup><xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref></sup> have reported that poikilothermia on presentation after ROSC is associated with worsened survival. Benz‐Woerner and colleagues<sup><xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup> reported that longer time to rewarming was associated with non‐survival. Haugk and colleagues<sup><xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref></sup> reported rapid time to target temperature (34°C) was associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes after CA. These results suggest patients with more severe neurologic injury are generating less heat and are therefore easier to cool and harder to rewarm.</p><p>The correlation between HI and arteriovenous carbon dioxide gradients corroborate the hypothesis that the measured HI reflects metabolic rate with lower heat generation present in more severely injured CA patients. We can only speculate on the physiologic mechanism of this effect. One potential etiology is that more severe global brain injury impacts the hypothalamus, which impairs thermoregulation.<sup><xref rid="b33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref></sup> The hypothalamus is not one of the well‐characterized, selectively vulnerable (to ischemia) regions of the brain<sup><xref rid="b34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref></sup> and thus may only be affected in more severe cases. Alternatively, mitochondrial dysfunction after cardiac arrest<sup><xref rid="b35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>–<xref rid="b37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref></sup> and hence systemic ability to generate heat may limit heat generation and predicts worsened survival.<sup><xref rid="b36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref></sup> Given the differential sensitivities of various tissue types to ischemia, and the relative resistance to ischemia by muscle<sup><xref rid="b38" ref-type="bibr">38</xref></sup> where most heat generation occurs, compared with the brain, where it is regulated, we favor the former hypothesis.</p><p>An important finding of our study is the independent and quantitative prognostic value of HI. This effect persisted even after controlling for the most important known association with CA outcomes, namely the presenting rhythm. Admittedly the predictive value of comparing median HI between groups is modest with a likelihood ratio of 3.6. What adds to its value in clinical practice is the ability to use it at a time when neuroprognosis is nearly impossible, namely during hypothermia when most patients are sedated and perhaps paralyzed. The PCAC is limited to these constraints and requires a fair degree of expertise to assign effectively; therefore, it may be difficult to implement at most institutions. The objective nature of HI will allow it to be calculated with minimal expertise on all patients, regardless of their level of sedation, rendering it a valuable early predictor of injury severity. Additionally, the quantitative nature of HI makes it more powerful in more extreme cases than the group medians. In this report, the median difference in HI between those with favorable versus unfavorable neurologic outcome translated to a nearly 5°C difference in water temperature throughout maintenance phase. Though not linear, mean water temperature increases from 16.6 to 20°C and 25 to 33°C (corresponding to HI decrease from 6 to 3) are each associated with a 2.2‐fold increase in odds of poor neurologic outcome. Thus in cases where low (<3) or high (>6) HI is present the value is substantial. Given the increasing use of hypothermia in post‐resuscitation care frequently mediated by devices where water temperature is available,<sup><xref rid="b39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref></sup> this provides clinicians an additional early marker of prognosis. When using HI in conjunction with PCAC, another early prognostic marker, we saw greatest discernment in the lower injury severities where outcomes are often hardest to predict. In more severe cases, the outcome is often manifest.</p><p>Our results are also important in the planning of randomized clinical trials aimed at achieving more rapid initiation of hypothermia and achievement of goal temperature. Several trials of this sort have been performed with hopes of reducing reperfusion injury to the brain. Although this approach has yielded good results in animal models,<sup><xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>–<xref rid="b12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="b14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref></sup> these results have not been consistently replicated clinically.<sup><xref rid="b17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>–<xref rid="b18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup> Animal models deliver similar degrees of ischemia, resulting in a more homogenous injury severity such that the rapidity of cooling depends only on the therapeutic cooling methods used. In the clinical setting where injury is heterogeneous, patients' heat generation will vary substantially so discerning the benefit of external hypothermic therapies is challenging without an adjustment for this patient level variable. The use of HI is the only quantitative method to perform such a post‐hoc adjustment. Our findings regarding the correlation between HI and arteriovenous CO<sub>2</sub> gradients, which can be obtained even in the field, permit a means to estimate heat generation permitting stratification prior to randomization in trials testing rapid hypothermia.</p><p>There are limitations to this study. The study population is small, though it is comprised of patients from 2 centers, which increases generalizability. The sample size may explain the limited number of associations we observed and larger studies may detect weaker associations. Though the data collection on HI and many peri‐arrest variables were collected prospectively, other data elements (such as drug dosing and blood gases) were gathered retrospectively. Thus, there is a reliance on accurate record keeping and data entry, which is not always present. As much as possible, we used objective lab measures and for the calculation of HI all data were directly downloaded from the devices, which should mitigate inaccuracies. We also note that continuous neuromuscular blockade is rarely employed in these facilities. Facilities using continuous neuromuscular blockade may yield differing results and potentially a significant association with decreased heat generation. CPC assessment at discharge is limited by the evaluations provided in physician's reports, which are inherently subjective in nature.<sup><xref rid="b40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref></sup> Hence our use of a slightly more objective endpoint for neurologic outcome, the discharge location, which is more clearly dictated by the patient's functional status.</p></sec><sec sec-type="other"><title>Conclusion</title><p>Heat generation is independently associated with neurologic outcome in patients successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest, and shows a strong association with initial illness severity. Markers of better baseline health and reduced ischemic injury were associated with greater heat generation. Our findings demonstrate one potential reason for the inability to translate more rapid cooling to improved clinical outcomes and provide a means to control for this important confounding variable in future clinical trials.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><title>Sources of Funding</title><fn fn-type="financial-disclosure"><p>Dr Dezfulian is supported by K08NS069817.
